Abstract

The conjugate of antisense c-raf oligonucleotide (ODN) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was synthesized for intracellular ODN delivery. When combined with polyethylenimine (PEI), the ODN-PEG conjugate self-associated to form polyelectrolyte complex micelles in aqueous solution. The effective hydrodynamic diameter of the micelles was ca. 70 nm with a narrow size distribution. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that the cellular uptake of the micelles by A2780 cells was much higher than that of ODN alone. The micelles also showed a superior antiproliferative activity against ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.
